Aging and Older Persons’ Health

The research area Aging and older persons’ health is of concern for many, regardless of profession and affiliation. We conduct research on older adults in need of services from the primary healthcare services, both institutional care and home care, and from the specialist healthcare services. Research topics such as the interaction and coordination between the primary- and specialist healthcare services is also relevant for the research group.

Being an informal caregiver of a home-dwelling person with dementia has consequences for quality of life, physical and mental health, and it can affect the relationship with the person you care for. If the caregivers feel they are stretched to the limit, the situation can potentially affect the day-to-day care, and conflicts and adverse events may occur. This study will examine how caregivers' experience of care burden affects their ability to master the caregiving task, which factors can lead to or prevent abuse, and whether municipal health services can help reduce the burden of care. The overall purpose of the study is to enable municipal health services to prevent abuse and neglect against home-dwelling persons with dementia.

This study is a cross-sectional study of informal caregivers of home-dwelling persons with dementia. Data will be collected through anonymous self-reported questionnaires to caregivers.

The study is funded by the Dam Foundation and is carried out in collaboration with the Norwegian Health Association. The project period is from February 2020 to May 2023.

The purpose of this study is to, based on staffs’ descriptions, generate new knowledge on the process leading to- and maintaining neglect in Norwegian nursing homes. The overall aim is to provide important knowledge that can contribute to the development and implementation of preventive measures.
